Back-to-school fashion trend: 19 original ways to wear the checkered coat and blazer<

To ensure the transition from vacation to back to school, let's take a look at the different ways to wear these inexhaustible basics. Variation around checkered coats and blazers.

It's hard to plan for autumn when the mercury is still high. And yet, being one step ahead in terms of style is always the best option. Thus, to respond to the call of trends, we will slip into coats tattooed with squared prints from the start of the school year. Trench coat, overcoat, overshirt, blazer, plaid, cape… These pieces assigned to the fall-winter fashion wardrobe are sure to warm up our silhouettes by bringing an extra touch of style.

Which checkered coats should you choose for back-to-school?

Military at Versace, hipster at R13, reissued plaid at Dior, belted and with a Prince of Wales pattern at Alexander McQueen, the coat checkered is on all fronts, and the front rows. At the same time, we retain the capes that are headlining the trends for fall-winter 2020-2021. Spotted on the backs of the models in the Isabel Marant, Valentino and Givenchy fashion shows, the back-to-school capes are belted and prefer checks.

And on the sidelines of the parades, we also think of the mackintosh coat which plays on excess. Alter-ego of the trench coat (invented by Thomas Burberry), this lightweight coat is the perfect compromise to start the new school year on the right foot.

Coats and blazers: which prints to choose to keep in check?

Tartan

Timepiece of the British fashion wardrobe, tartan remains the adored motif of the fashion sphere . Recognizable by its fabric adorned with vertical and horizontal crossed lines, the Scottish check (as it is commonly called) is the safe bet of the new school year when it slips on our coats.

Prince of Wales

With its azimuth of checks forming a few chevrons, the Prince of Wales print is available in all seams and on all coats. Upholstered on an overshirt, a bomber jacket, a parka or even a coat in woolen cloth, this 19th century British motif (which we owe to Edward VIII, the son of King Edward VII), continues until it appears on the coats of modern-day fashionistas.

The window-pane pattern

With its sleek graphics, this minimalist print tops the list of the most popular back-to-school patterns. Projecting its stripes onto a Chesterfield, a military overcoat, a pea coat or a wool coat, the windowpane pattern is the perfect ally for facing the start of the new school year with panache.

The check pattern

A signature of the Burberry house since the 1920s, the check pattern never misses an opportunity to flourish in the streets of Fashion Week. If we know the British label's iconic check print trench coat, this motif slips into padded jackets, hooded coats and overcoats: cropped coats buttoned in front.

Gingham

As bucolic as one could wish, this pattern imbued with a romantic style is ideal on seasonal coats. To ensure back-to-school season, we will bet on a trouser suit set strewn with this stainless print.
